Have Your Own Event

We are happy give you advice on your event. Please contact us on 01 499 4700 or at fundraising@dspca.ie or visit us at DSPCA, Mount Venus Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.

Set the date and location. Schedule your event for a day, time and location that provides you with plenty of time to plan and promote it properly.

Draw up a list of jobs to be done.

If you can, find a volunteer for each of the jobs.

Set fundraising goals and a budget. It is important you know all your costs before embarking on an event. This will help you monitor your expenses. It will also help you determine your fundraising goals. The lower your cost, the higher the contribution.

Determine how money will be collected and handled.

Determine legal, insurance, liability, permit and safety issues you may need to address. The DSPCA will not be responsible for insurance, permit, etc and cannot accept liability for any accidents.

Develop a publicity/promotion plan. Flyers, posters and other promotional materials will help generate awareness and excitement about your event.
